Programmer missed our weekly meeting

Can't believe I got up before noon on a Saturday for that.

On the bright side, did some work for an hour in the morning.  Now have hours and hours of work ahead of me for the evening.

Blast!

Was downloading Xcode and my system needs a software update.  Frack!  I'm in the middle of moving large files with Dropbox.  Arghness!


Deep breaths.

Programmer has officially gone MIA

And I don't have the code.

This could start to suck, real quick.

Still waiting for an e-mail from the programmer

Starting to wonder if he's dead.

I know we haven't talked in a few weeks/a month, but I have been waiting this entire for a code update that was supposed to be coming.  What the heck is going on?

Found out my copywriter didn't know how to use file sharing

 Because I found out through some tech spelunking that he de-shared himself from the shared folders.
 
Which is why I wasn't receiving the updates from him.


Makes me feel better about myself in some ways, less in other ways.

Had a meeting with the copywriter last night

lasted 2 hours.  I explained all the stuff he needs to know, he should do a much better time this time around.  The first draft I literally doubled the script size from 25 to 50 pages.  He'll probably hand me another 25, but hopefully it's closer to my vision this time.

Artist is sick and is having trouble completing the icon.  Kinda rough because I need the art to move ahead...there's a whack load left to do.  I might take the icon off her hands and do it myself.  I don't have a problem with vector graphics (I designed the battle icons, feel free to ridicule me.)

Work is crazy, I'm getting sick, I just had an allergic reaction to strawberries in my dinner and now I'm going to gym to burn off this day.  This day needs to go away.

I'm trying to be fair

But I'm being required by Apple to send them a letter telling them my address and that I'm allowed to represent the company and that Interra Game's business address is what I say it is.

That was on those forms I sent you.  You know, that 10 page document of Articles of Incorporation?

=/

Displeased.  

Cause of Death Review

Love the music, the animation, everything about the game is classy.

But unless I get a certain detective score, I don't get to see special scenes. 

That would be ok, but the chapters are long...and if I make one mistake I have to do the whole chapter over again?  Really?

Music Composer Chosen

No lie, I woke up two days ago and was like, "I know which one I'm going to hire!" 

Weird.

On another note, I had a dream that my game had graphics and action similar to Mage Gauntlet.  And vampires.  Weird, were-vampires.  With bad 2d game sprites with low-res shading. 

I gotta stop making lists while I go to sleep.

More music listening....

I wish I could close the bidding, but I can't....argh I now have around 50 bids on this. 

Also, who says, "If you don't hire me, good luck on your binary conundrum?'

Music Shortlist finished

Somewhere between 9-11 interviews to schedule this week.


....


I'm going to be spending a lot of time in this Starbucks right here.

Wow people

It blows my mind that I'm getting industry standard professionals applying for peanuts to a freelancer posting I put up 7 days ago.  I have people that have worked on Microsoft projects, Hollywood movies, etc.

I have 41 bids on a site that doesn't even really have a specific area for 'music.'  This is insane.  Plus 35 private e-mails.


Currently shortlisting....
